Fagnano it is

[gwhuskyfan]

 

[DoctorWho85]

Who's Joe Fagano? Transfer? Or did he mean Fagnano?

Joking aside, I kinda saw this coming with his experience with Charlton's offense.

 

[Tdaley]

Is Roberson hurt?

 

[NYtoCT]

Can’t wait until next Thursday. Go Huskies.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Dayum. That escalated quickly.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Is Roberson hurt?

He tweeked his throwing arm, so probably is still dealing with discomfort if I had to guess. From what we see though, all three can pretty much step and compete. So I think we are going to be safe at QB.

 

[HuskyAlum012]

what a disaster of an announcement. almost worse than RE2.0. ALMOST

 

[CL82]

Roberson was my guess, although I understand the benefit of having Fagnano's familiarity with Charlton's system.

Well, it's good to have that decision made. The next question is who will Pal go for Roberson or Turner?

?

 

[LetsGoUC]

Pretty surprised its not Roberson, but.....let's go Joe!! Time to ball out.

 

[noeynox]

I wanted this kid to come last year with Charlton. I hope my enthusiasm for him due to familiarity and past production is not misguided.

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn is not announcing the starting QB today but the Boneyard is announcing their starting QB?????

Announcement is fine. The process leading up to it from Friday until this morning was a mess.

i too had my eyes on him in the past. i’m glad he’s here. he will do well with the receivers here. he did well at maine with poor receivers

I am absolutely shocked to be honest. I really hope to be pleasantly surprised but his stats against FBS teams last year (48% completion against BC, 44% against UNM) with 2 TDs and 3 INT are really not good. QB of a 2-9 FCS team is going to come up to FBS and lead us to success? I will wait and see.

Maybe Maine wasn’t that good. Tim Boyle couldn’t play at UConn and is in nfl. It is about the talent around you unless you are a great QB.

It comes down to can you run the offense around you. If Fangnano takes care of the ball and passes, what ya gonna do?

 

[Buffett10]

Not shocked at all.

 

[JohnFSilver]

Not shocked at all.

I mean, Maine was 2-9 and he threw for 2300 yards, 15 TDS and 6 INTs with 57% completion.

That is execution right there because clearly the team wasn’t good

 

[JohnFSilver]

I hope Charlton and UConn can get him above 60%.

Agree, numbers in a vacuum are meaningless.

Lets hope he does better than his Spring Game. I hope he won out right and Roberson isn't hurt

 

[HuskyAlum012]

What?

Saturday: "We will probably announce Monday"
Monday: "We will actually announce Wednesday"
Wednesday: "Practice cancelled, we will not be announcing QB1 today"
Also Wednesday: "Just kidding, here is a press release of the QB1!"

That is exactly what NOT to do in PR 101.

 

[NEforceUConn]

I wonder if a fan should second guess an experienced coach's decision on our starting QB (a coaching staff that has worked with the team for so long) ?

Guys show some class. The season starts in 8 days.

 

[storrsroars]

I'll trust Mora to know what he's doing.

 

[Wildgopher]

Maybe after the first game all the bloggers and reporters will know how to spell his name!

 

[Forte]

Kind of fun .... First Play UConn new to UConn old

Also another play starts at 11:12
